"We were the ones you used to make fun of. We stayed at home alone instead of falling in love. We never got the chance to be prom king. We didn't even dance but here's the thing. We got the cars. We got the money. We need some sun, but I'm telling, honey, that the geeks will-geeks will-we will inherit the earth."
"Twilight, there you go singing that song again," Spike said as he looked up to his friend. Twilight giggled.
"It's a catchy song. Besides, it sure does tell a lot about me, does it not?"
Spike opened his mouth but closed it back up. He knew he had called her a nerd before, and she didn't liked it. Now with geek in hand, and she approving it? Spike just doesn't know anymore, so he stays quiet.
The two friends walk along the roads of Ponyville, admiring how alive it looked. Ponies were running here and there, ponies selling delicious foods, ponies playing, just ponies everywhere! The unicorn and dragon placed big smiles on their faces.
"Wow. I don't think I've seen Ponyville this happy before. Look at all of them," Twilight said as she noticed a bright green pony carrying boxes upon boxes of something in and out from a house.
"Mhmm. They should be. This week is a very special week indeed," Spike said. The purple pony looked down at the dragon with a question mark on her head. "Why say that?"
"Twilight! Don't tell me you forgot that this week is Hearts and Hooves Day week?"
The pony raised an eyebrow but then shook her head. "Oh, that silly thing? That's what all the fuss is about?"
Just then Spike grabbed a hold of Twilight's face and put his close to hers. "Twilight! How can you say that it's just a 'silly thing'?" Hearts and Hooves Day is a special day where love is in the air, lovers can be together, two hearts become one, and who can forget about-"
A purple hoof was shoved over Spike's mouth. Twilight glared at him. "I know what it is. I just find no reason for it to be celebrate this early. I mean, isn't it this Friday?"
Twilight took her hoof off from Spike's mouth and began walking away. Spike shook his head and followed close behind her. "What's wrong with celebrating it this early? I find it really convenient."
The unicorn rolled her eyes and continued walking. She did not want to talk more about Hearts and Hooves Day. Sensing that she was annoyed, Spike decided to change the subject.
"So, why are we even here? I mean, is there some place you need to go?"
"I need to talk with Pinkie Pie for a while."
"That's a first. She usually comes talks to you."
Twilight gave another glare down to Spike who could feel the chilliness of the look. The pony looked back up and continued her walk. "It's about a project I'm doing. I want to know if she wants to get involved."
Spike gulped. He had never felt his friend's cold glare before. What was she getting so upset about?
"A project? What kind of project?"
"A project where I want to experiment the human's technology and use it as our own. I want to get to see how communication can expand with the laptop I summoned from their world," Twilight explained.
"That sounds nice except for the fact that you didn't include me."
"I always include you. You're going to be the..." Twilight paused and thought for a minute. What can Spike be? "You can be the...umm...chore dragon?"
Spike pouted. When doesn't he get that job? Ha-ha.
"See? You have a spot among all this. You're included." Twilight said matter-of-factually. Although it wasn't a job that Spike likes to do at all, it was still something, right?
Spike signed and walked a few steps ahead of his friend. "I guess..." The purple pony felt bad afterwards and she was going to change her mind until...
"GET YOUR CUPCAKES RIGHT HERE FOR JUST ONE COIN! COME ON BEFORE THEY POOF AWAY!"
The two buddies turned around and noticed a familiar pink figure over by Sugar Cube Corner. Groups upon groups of ponies rushed over to where she was and gathered around to buy some sweets. Twilight and Spike look at each other for a minute and then began to walk over to the commotion. Since they didn't really want to buy anything, they decided to walk over to the stand where their friend, Pinkie Pie was giving out cupcakes to everypony.
"YES MARES AND GENTLECOLTS! THESE ARE SPECIAL ONE OF A KIND CUPCAKES THAT ONLY YOURS TRULY CAN MAKE FOR SUCH A SPECIAL WEEK! AND PROBABLY THE WHOLE YEAR! OR MAYBE EVEN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES!" Pinkie shouted even though most ponies were ignoring her. She had a big smile on her face as always.
"Pinkie, can I talk to you?" Twilight said as she made her way towards the pink pony. Pinkie heard her and gave her friend a tight hug.
"HI TWILIGHT!"
Twilight felt like her ears were going to bleed. She gently pushed her friend away from her. "Pinkie, don't scream into my ears like, okay? They're very sensitive."
"Oh? My bad," Pinkie said as she turned back around and literally threw cupcakes into ponies mouths. "Do you want a cupcake too, Twilight?"
"No I'm okay. I just needed to talk to you. But I can see that you're busy and-"
"Spike! Do you want a cupcake?" Pinkie handed a pink frosted cupcake to the dragon as he eagerly took it.
"Thanks Pinkie. Umm...do I have to pay you?"
"Nope. You are my bestest of best friends, so you get my cupcakes for free! Yay!"
"Cool!" Spike sat down on the ground and ate his cupcake. Twilight poked Pinkie, trying to get her attention again.
"Umm...Pinkie?"
"Yes! I want to join you!" Pinkie said as she juggled five cupcakes at once and threw them all to five different ponies.
"Huh? Pinkie, how did you-"
Again, Twilight was interrupted.
"Don't you worry about a thing, Twiley. Your aunt Pinkie Pie will be there to help you on that amazing project. Just tell me when and I'l be there!"
Twilight still couldn't understand. Well, she can never understand the way Pinkie's mind work. Is she some kind of psychic?
"Well, first of all, thanks Pinkie. I really appreciate it. Second, I'm thinking of gathering the others and hoping you all can meet me up-"
"Tomorrow? Sounds great!" Pinkie said as she collected hundreds of coins and placed them into her bucket.
Twilight had her jaw down, but she shook it off. It was Pinkie after all.
"Yes. Tomorrow around-"
"Noon? Even better!"
The unicorn giggled. "Yes Pinkie. But I know you're very busy right now, so I'll talk to you more about it later, okay? See you tomorrow at my house."
The earth pony squealed and gave her buddy another tight hug. "BYE TWILIGHT! HAPPY HEART AND HOOVES DAYS WEEK!"
Pinkie let go of her as another customer asked for a cupcake. Twilight was left there, standing dazed. She shook her head and walked away. "I told Pinkie not to scream in my ears. She almost knocked me out."
As if the pink pony heard her, Pinkie giggled out loud which made Twilight giggle along. "Come on, Spike. Let's go find the others."
Spike followed close behind her. They walked away slowly. Twilight stopped and looked back at Pinkie who was making a cupcake talk. "Oh Pinkie." She laughed.
